Hello listeners! We're back!

Sorry for taking some unannounced time off but we're back with some new episodes. And what better way to celebrate than with an episode dedicated to both Ashley's birthday and smut writing!

Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge

It has been two years since the Cromwell/Piper family saved both Halloweentown and the mortal world from the evil Kalabar. During that time, Aggie Cromwell (Debbie Reynolds) has been developing her grandchildren's magical abilities. But when Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) falls for their new, mysterious neighbor Cal (Daniel Kountz), the family must return to Halloweentown, once more, to save the day (yet again).

When the Hansen siblings, Matt (Adam O'Leary), Chelsea (Laura Vandervoort), and Taylor (Myles Jeffrey), set their mother Lynette (Caroline Rhea) on a blind date, they soon discover that they may have bit off more than they can chew. At first the charming Dimitri Denatos (Charles Shaughnessy) seemed to be a prince; but could he actually be the Prince of Darkness instead? Well no, because it's a DCOM, but this 2000's comedy has it's charm and is fun for the whole family.
